ABOUT

Architecture for Change is an initiative supporting Black women in their architectural education. Net proceeds from auctions of architectural works will raise funds for the Architects Foundation’s Diversity Advancement Scholarship. Donated items, such as drawings, photos or models, will continue to form part of a digital archive bringing light to the architectural work.

OUR GOAL

To tackle systemic racism in the field of architecture and design, we need to make studying these subjects more accessible to aspiring BIPOC architects, who have historically been underrepresented and under-supported. Works will be sold in a one-week long auction raising funds to improve diversity in architecture and design education.

DONATE

ARCH is on the hunt for works of architectural representation, ranging from photographs and technical drawings to sketches, or models, for the auction. We need your submission to raise as much as we can to fund this important cause. We are now accepting submissions to sell in the auction and feature in our archive.
